A few weeks ago I wrote about a nun who I had recently started channeling. Her name is Caroline and you’ll probably be hearing more from her over the next few weeks.

Yesterday I transcribed a message from her which describes why we may find certain situations in life so difficult. Enjoy!

People often think that they are here on earth to learn a lesson. Would you be shocked to know that there are no lessons?

People continue to attract the same type of person or situation over and over again because they like that particular situation. Even when it is destructive, it is comfortable. Think of it like an old, comfortable pair of slippers. With no feet in the slippers they stink. As soon as a foot goes in the smell goes away and the comfort begins.

Is it understandable to you that you have a choice? Of course. It is understandable to others that they have choices too.

People do see the vastness of what the world offers. And yet they make an active decision to remain in situations that perhaps pockets of humanity see as damaging or destructive.

It’s not about conquering the bad habit of attracting the same destructive situation or person. It’s a matter of simply deciding that you want something else. You have a choice. And if you want something different it is your responsibility to choose something else.

Just as many religious people create a God in their image, who is not forgiving, who is angry, who must be appeased with prayers and strict living – the spiritual people (who claim not to be religious) create a God who says, “You must go through Olympic-sized trials in order to realize a lesson!”

Thus spiritual people look at the religious people with disdain. They spiritual people cry, “Can’t they see that God is not some awful hater? He is filled with love!”

And then they (the spiritual seekers) turn around to reveal that God has given them these tough grueling lessons that they must overcome.

God is no more an angry punishment giver then he is a sadistic test giver. The only thing God has done is give us choices. And perhaps that is the hardest part of being human. Truly not having anyone to blame in the matter because we do have choices.

So today – and this might be tough – take a good hard look at the choices you have made. Realize they are not your lessons. They are your choices.

And if you don’t like them, it is up to you to choose again.  And possibly again, and again, and again. Choose until you have reached the Garden of Contentment. And when you get bored, choose again. And when you get weary of that scene, choose yet again.

Placing the blame on your destiny or your past lives is the easy way out.

Having the strength to choose exactly what you want is the stuff that legends are made of.
